This is the smartest AI in the world,” Musk said. He did not mention the chatbot’s viral posts praising Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.”

People are leaning on AI tools to figure out what is real on topics such as funding cuts and misinformation about cloud seeding. At times, chatbots will give contradictory responses.

Billionaire Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok, developed by his firm xAI, has drawn global attention for using profanity, insults, hate, and spreading disinformation on X, sparking renewed debate over the reliability of AI systems and the dangers of placing blind trust in them.

Elon Musk said changes his xAI company made to Grok to be less politically correct had resulted in the chatbot being “too eager to please” and susceptible to being “manipulated.” That apparently led it to begin spewing out antisemitic and pro-Hitler comments on Musk’s X social platform Tuesday.

Days after Grok praises Hitler, Musk touts the chatbot as smarter than PhDs in 'every subject' and debuts the SuperHeavy Grok subscription.
